First I had heard of it was last night. Just before bedtime TJ states, "I am in the geography bee tomorrow at 1:30, can you come?" Apparently, TJ finished first for his class in the preliminaries and therefore qualified for the finals which was held in the gym today with all the middle school kiddos watching. He did great but did not win the competition. An eigth grader was declared the winner - he knew more about rivers and countries that I could ever hope to. He will go on to take an exam and if he does well enough will compete in the National Geography Bee. What I learned today is that there is such a competition and my son obviously at some point has spun the dust off that globe in his room! I am one very proud mom!
